Fang Guiyan remained silent for a long while as Liu Dahai left.
Opening the lunchbox lid, it was filled with braised pork.
"No matter how angry you are, eat your food first," Fang Guiyan said to Fang Guilan.
Seeing that she was unmoved, he said, "I also told you in my letter that Brother Liu looks honest and simple. He may look a bit fierce, but he's not as ugly as you think. He's literate and has a high level of education. It's true that his family is from the countryside, but at least he can provide you with a good enough life. After you get married, you can live here and won't have to go back and be bullied by those people anymore."
Despite Fang Guiyan's persuasion, Fang Guilan remained silent.
She was also aware of her fate; if she went back, she would not only be laughed at, but she would definitely be tortured beyond recognition.
"Lanlan, why don't you try getting to know Brother Liu? He's a very nice person," Fang Guiyan said again.
When Fang Guilan heard that she would have to spend time with Liu Dahai, she was so upset that tears welled up in her eyes.
What is going on here!
dilemma.
After crying loudly, Fang Guilan silently shed tears.
She didn't want it to be like this; at that moment, all her beliefs vanished.
But what could Fang Guilan do? Her parents were in a worse situation than her and couldn't protect her at all.
If she didn't marry Liu Dahai, she would have no choice but to go back to working.
Thinking of all this, Fang Guilan didn't want to go back. She wiped away her tears and turned to face Fang Guiyan.
I saw that she was holding a bowl of fragrant rice.
She hadn't eaten rice like this in a long time, and there was also braised pork.
Fang Guiyan handed it to Fang Guilan.
Fang Guilan took the boxed lunch and started eating it in big mouthfuls, she just couldn't stop.
Fang Guiyan poured her a cup of hot water, looking at her with a pained expression.
A wave of bitterness and helplessness washed over me!
"Eat slowly!" Fang Guiyan gently advised. "Go stay at the guesthouse. There's a communal kitchen. I'll go buy some groceries and cook you something delicious."
As she spoke, Fang Guiyan also felt bad.
Fang Guilan started crying while eating, but then continued eating.
Bai Le was about to hand over his shift when he passed by a ward and heard crying. Full of doubt, he walked to the nurses' station and asked, "What's going on in ward 209? Why is someone crying?"
"She's Comrade Fang Guiyan's sister, she came here..." Chen Xiaohua, her face full of gossip, told Bai Le the whole story.
He stroked his chin and nodded, saying, "This gossip is quite fascinating, but this comrade's shrewishness is extraordinary!"
After thinking for a moment, he complained, "If we lived in the family compound, wouldn't it be even more lively in the future!"
"Maybe she doesn't even want to marry him!" Chen Xiaohua said.
Bai Le, however, disagreed. Having come all this way regardless of the consequences, how could he possibly want to go back unless it was the worst possible outcome?
"Maybe!" Bai Le said to Chen Xiaohua, disagreeing.
"Aren't you off work yet!" Chen Xiaohua didn't want to continue the conversation with Bai Le. "Has your man been back for a while now?"
"Stop asking about our marriage. You should go and listen to more gossip. I'm counting on you for work tomorrow!" Bai Le said to Chen Xiaohua, raising an eyebrow.
Chen Xiaohua was speechless. Was she really that gossipy?
Bai Le smiled and left.
That evening, when Shen Qiaoyue returned home from get off work, she heard the news from her sister-in-law in the family compound.
After dinner, Shen Qiaoyue took a palm-leaf fan and went to chat with several old ladies and sisters-in-law in the courtyard under the tree.
After listening to what was happening in the family compound every day, Shen Qiaoyue finished her reflections, got up to go home, and passed by Xiang Shulan's house.
Feeling uneasy, Xia Xiaoli wanted to go to Shulan's house to check on her.
After the family finished eating, Xia Xiaoli was sewing clothes in the living room. She was about to go to work and wanted to look presentable.
Upon reaching the door, Shen Qiaoyue stopped in her tracks and decided not to go in.
Seeing how diligently she was working, and noticing that it was getting dark, Shen Qiaoyue decided to go home.
Shen Qiaoyue's belly is now quite big, making it difficult for her to walk and do things.
Sometimes I feel like I'm carrying several kilograms of weight, it's very cumbersome.
Back home, Shen Qiaoyue wanted to take a bath, so she went to the kitchen to boil water.
He scooped water into the big pot, wanting to start a fire, and wanted to squat down.
Shen Qiaoyue just couldn't squat down, so she had no choice but to give up and turn back to the living room.
These days, living a simple and peaceful life is quite nice.
After a busy day at work, I'm tired, but my body has also been under a lot of stress.
Stand in the yard and do some stretching exercises, stretching your hands back and forth.
I was covered in sweat after exercising.
"Wife, I'm home." Lu Chen returned home after training in the evening and saw Shen Qiaoyue exercising in the yard. He quickly said, "Wife, are you tired? I'll boil some water for you to take a bath."
"I'm tired, definitely tired," Shen Qiaoyue said. "I wanted to boil water myself, but I couldn't squat down, so I gave up!"
The first thing Lu Chen did upon returning was to go into the kitchen and boil water for Shen Qiaoyue.
Hearing what Shen Qiaoyue said, he looked up at her and said, "Wife, I'm sorry. When I went out just now, I saw you chatting so happily with your sisters-in-law and aunts, so I thought you wouldn't take a bath so soon, and I didn't boil water for you."
After saying that, he squatted down, lit the burning firewood, and put it into the stove.
Shen Qiaoyue watched Lu Chen's practiced movements.
"Brother Shen, I'm hungry!" Shen Qiaoyue said coquettishly.
"What do you want to eat?" Lu Chen asked Shen Qiaoyue, looking up at her.
"Hmm," she thought for a moment, "What food do we have at home?"
"We have a lot of food at home. For example, if we have eggs, we can make a bowl of noodles, fried rice with eggs, or sweet potatoes and potatoes." Since Shen Qiaoyue became pregnant, she always needs to eat, so he prepares some food that can be stored for several days.
"I'll have fried rice instead." Shen Qiaoyue felt that noodles were too hot, and there was still some rice left in the pan, so fried rice was the best option.
Lu Chen quickly put firewood into the stove of the wok, lit a small flame, and it soon caught fire.
"I'll chop some greens for my wife and stir-fry them in, so they won't be too dry, what do you think?" Lu Chen suggested to Shen Qiaoyue.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Brother Shen." Shen Qiaoyue nodded and turned to leave the kitchen.
Looking for food on the table in the living room.
Pregnancy is really torturous. Shen Qiaoyue wanted to eat all the time and always felt like she wasn't full.
The fried rice was ready in no time, and Lu Chen brought it to the living room.
"Honey, come have some late-night snacks," Lu Chen said softly.
Upon hearing the sound, Shen Qiaoyue sat down at the dining table.
Freshly cooked egg fried rice is so delicious.
Smelling the aroma, Shen Qiaoyue praised Lu Chen, saying, "Brother Chen, you're amazing! Your cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds lately."
He gave Lu Chen two thumbs up, indicating that he was very capable.
"Brother Shen, you are my hero. You are amazing at saving people, working hard, and cooking. I admire you so much." Shen Qiaoyue said, taking a bite.
With a crackling sound, Shen Qiaoyue praised the early arrival of the day.
"What's wrong? Is it good?" Lu Chen asked worriedly when he noticed that Shen Qiaoyue's expression was a little off.
